“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel

Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2014

Remember when non-fashion people used to make fun of MK Olsen because she was dressing like a homeless person? And if you were anything like me you would also remember fancying that look a lot, trying to channel it but ending up looking extremely sloppy instead of grunge-cool. Well here we are, almost 5 years later, and Alexander Wang is giving us a second chance with the worn out (looking) clothes. With the deterioration theme preponderating over everything else on the pre-fall collection, we are facing a whole new aspect of menswear inspiration. Patchworks, burned-like textile hems, rips and moth holes are coming together to form a weirdly complete collection.

PS: The boots, as gorgeous and mouth-watering as they are, remind me A LOT of Zeynep Tosun’s boots from the F/W 13-14 collection. What do you think?
